Hands On Charlotte and Mecklenburg County Park and Recreation are teaming up to build an 11.5 acre park in the Lincoln Heights community. The long term plan for park development involves Park and Recreation supplying the land and the community pitching in for development. The Hands on Charlotte – Park and Rec collaboration represents the first of such efforts. Hands on Charlotte will be recruiting volunteers and accepting donations.
